My passion at Orchard Hills: My passion is to give back some of what has been given to me through Christ. To love in a way that others would know whose I am.

Favorite illustration of a biblical truth: Ephesians 6:10-12: Be strong with the Lord’s mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all the strategies and tricks of the devil. For we are not fighting people made of flesh and blood..
